MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – The Mexican government said Tuesday it hopes to begin talks with the United States to renew a bilateral agreement that benefited Mexican exporters and from which Washington intends to withdraw.
A pullout by the U.S. would entail paying duties of approximately 20% that would increase the price of goods.
The United States did not send the notice about the potential price increase to the Mexican government, but rather to tomato exporters, Mexican Agriculture Minister Julio Berdegue said in a Tuesday morning press conference.
